I'm really disappointed to see how prohibitively expensive this is. I'm out. $49 just to walk in the door and shop: no participation in the conference. You pay extra to see any of the speakers. $109 just to see one speaker. For full access, it's over $450. I could fly to another conference and probably even grab a hotel for that. Sheesh.

Am I just naive about how much is reasonable for these conferences to cost? The Kingston conference was $150 for everything, including a very good LC lunch. I mean, I know first-hand how expensive Toronto is, but public transit is pretty easy - they didn't have to have it downtown.
